ANACLETO DIXIT


"...It can also be said that youth—because of its elevated and permanent boldness—is naturally Christian. And it can be said further: youth is completed, strengthened, and protected against weakening or extinction by placing itself under the perpetually youthful breath of Christ. Because Christianity—both in the strength of its ideological structure and in its historical currents—is the doctrine of risk and the direction of life to victoriously overcome all risks. Because it is not so small to dare to face the risks of being a saint. Much less the risks of being a martyr. And Christianity—considered ideologically and historically—is the doctrine of holy boldness, of holiness, and of goodness. Joining your two hands, wet in the new wineskin of life, youth, with the perennial youth of Christ, is the same as defining the direction of your own boldness and placing it in fruitful and direct function with goodness, truth, and  destiny itself." 

(Anacleto González Flores, You Will Be King, 1950)
